In Austin, a 9-year-old watched ICE detain and drive away with his mother, leaving community members to scramble to find him care. Senate Republicans just blocked a bill that would bar ICE from making arrests at school bus stops. Their cruelty is endless.

The #calebflynn apology-fest is painful to watch. What a piece of garbage! He regrets his words/lies yet is "innocent." Bible verse, bible verse, long string of bullshit. He literally could have left his marriage instead of cheating then killing his wife. Should go straight to into the lake of fire.

A 17-month-old girl was hospitalized with E. coli after consuming raw milk. Soon, another child — a 6-year-old girl who’d drunk milk from the same farm — would wind up in the same San Diego hospital, with the same potentially fatal illness.

Subverting democracy isn't new to John Roberts, Brett Kavanaugh, or Amy Coney Barrett. All three were on George W. Bush's "Florida Recount Team," which lay the groundwork for stopping vote counting in Florida—and Bush v. Gore, the politically-motivated SCOTUS decision that gave Bush the election.

The response when progressive policies that help millions of people are proposed... "How will you pay for it?" The response when the richest 1% ask for tax cuts, or banks ask for bailouts, or defense contractors ask for more contracts... "How much do you need?" It doesn't have to be this way.

I don't have a degree in computer science, but I don't think you need one to know that these conversations should have been had long before we started overbuilding data centers for the benefit of billionaires. Ethics, impact & protective protocols should've been top of mind along w/proof of concept.
